Weekly Photo Challenge: Adventure

The WordPress challenge this week is about adventure. The greatest adventure is Life, the life we have been given. We don’t know anything about what’s waiting just around the corner…we only know that we all are going to die one day. This is what we all have in common.

My greatest adventure then, is following my children grow up and helping them discover the world, themselves and their special gifts and possibilities.

My daughter, my eldest child, is now turning 24. Even if she has travelled with us to many places in the world, her greatest adventure was living and working with nature issues in New Zealand. She stayed for two months, learned many important things, and was a different person when she came back home.

 

My son has not yet been working abroad, but here he is hiking the Azoric island of Flores. A great adventure for us all.

So…following the two of them along their different paths…

…on their adventures – is my great adventure. And the thing is, that you never know what’s waiting around the corner. What is prepared just for you? Surely an adventure worth entering upon!

A Goodbye to Summer

The last visit this year to our summer place…meant some thinking and some walking and some …just being. A long goodbye  in pictures – a last day of summer beauty – sunny and warm. You are welcome to accompany me on this farewell walk yesterday, from daybreak to a cavalcade of sunset!

 

 

 

 

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Roads

Cee has once again brought up a wonderful theme – Roads. Here are some of my favourites.

Somewhere in the middle of Sweden – about 25 C below zero.

Early this summer. A soft evening of about 20 C. One of my favourite roads.

Yesterday, August,  on the same road.

Autumn will soon be here. Beautiful but sad. The photo from southern Norway.

Travel theme: Horizons

Ailsa’s Horizons is an enigmatic theme, and changing the horizon’s position is a great possibilty to create totally different photos – standing in almost the same position. My entry is from yesterday evening by the lake.

High horizon

Low horizon

No horizon

Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture

Textures – many interpretations possible, but I found some that I really like. I guess you all have seen and felt these ones before? From harsh to smooth and delicate, from warm to cold…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Earth or the Harvest Season

The harvest season is here, and for some farmers the harvest is already in. We’ve had very high temperatures for about two weeks now, so they have been busy.

Photo from late this afternoon – the scent was lovely and the sun still hot, which comes trough in the warm colours.
